Genres of Portrait Photography

1. Portrait Candid

As the name suggests, this photo technique is captured indirectly without any prior planning. That means you spontaneously photograph the object in front of you. To make the photo look natural, you can blend into the crowd so that the object of the photo does not know your presence. Usually candid portraits are used in travel photos, journalism, and the like. 

2. Traditional/Classical Portrait

The traditional portrait photography genre usually uses full body, head-shot, or two-thirds framing. This photography technique focuses the camera on the model's face so that the photo appears clear. Classic portrait photography backgrounds tend to use formal backgrounds. The lighting will be arranged in such a way as to produce a simple yet charming photo.

3. Lifestyle Portrait

This genre of photos aims to depict a person's lifestyle from photography. So, the photographer is expected to be able to capture a photo object that will convey a "story" from the life of the photo object itself. 

The fashion, pharmaceutical, editorial, or food industries tend to use this genre of photos to invite people to try out the lifestyle from photography. This photography is generally shown in family photos.

4. Environmental Portrait

The place where the object is photographed when using the environmental portrait genre is in the surrounding environment. So, the environment that is used as the scope of the object of the photo activity becomes the background of the place so that the character of the object can be conveyed clearly. For example, you can photograph teachers in the classroom, construction workers, singers on stage, and the like.

5. Glamour Portrait

As the name implies, this genre carries a luxurious theme where the photo model can wear supporting props such as dresses and jewelry. Lighting or lighting settings play a role to help get portrait photos that show the luxurious side of the model being photographed.

Tips for Shooting Portrait Photography Genre

1. Setting the Composition

Look for a shooting angle that seems suitable for your model. This also aims to produce a well-proportioned image for both the human model and the product/inanimate object.

2. Creating a Relaxed Atmosphere

Creating a relaxed atmosphere will help the model relax so that the shooting process goes smoothly.

3. Pay Attention to the Surrounding Environment

You need to be sensitive to the surrounding environment when taking photos. Choose the right location according to the theme. Choosing the right location will produce good photos.

4. Patience and Forbearance

Hurrying to take pictures sometimes makes the photo results less than optimal. You need to make a careful plan regarding the concept of the photo theme. In addition, talking to the model will help get the desired portrait. Enjoy the photography process patiently and cheerfully.

5. Organize the Lighting

If the photo shoot is done in a studio, the lighting can be assisted by the presence of lights. While outdoor photography certainly relies on light from sunlight. Arrange the position of the photo model to get enough lighting. 

Delving into a hobby or job definitely requires a strong learning determination. Just like photographing the portrait photography genre, techniques are needed to get the photo results as expected. That way, you also get satisfaction from your own hard work.
